The Geoff Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Plus the One for Charie Watts. He was very active on the London Jazz scene for several years before joining the Stones & has a deep & very subtle understanding of groove. We've just started a little country-rock trio - no drums - 2 x guitars & bass & vocals. G. Well, it was very well received last night at my regular Open Mic Night/Watering Hole - The Old Volunteer, Nottingham. Pete was a bit nervous, and not being used to to PA/Foldback monitors, he missed the timing on a couple of occasions. However, it all went generally OK & was enthusiastically received by all the regulars & dinosaurs who usually turn up - nice words were said about my playing, which is always a heartening thing. G. We're off the ground in two weeks (15th Dec), going to my regular Open Mike night for our first public appearance. It'll be a first for Pete, out Lead Guitarist, who's a virgin (performer! ). Numbers will be: Take It Easy - Eagles Mud on the Tyres - Brad Paisley Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Lady Antebellum I'll have a pal in the audience to tell me if the bass is too prominent. G. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the World will know Peace": Jimi Hendrix http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=738517&content=music The Geoff - blame Caevan!!!

david.tele Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 It really depends on the drummer you're playing with. When you're playing with someone really good, they make you and everything else sound better! Like you're floating on a musical cloud. But then again, when you play with a drummer who is not sensitive and doesn't listen, it totally kills the vibe. In general I think the musician is more important than the instrument.
